I am hoping someone could give me some advice about the telephone drop cable?
I have attached a picture so that you can see how it is currently connected. Currently the cable joins the house and then runs all the way down the outside wall. Ideally i would like it to feed into the loft and then down through conduit in channels in the wall leaving the master socket in the loft. I know that it is illlegal to move it yourself.
1. From the photo does the current connection look correct? I was under the impression that the dorp cable should be joined in a junction box and not just wound around the cable from the main pole
2. When drilling the hole for the cable is it best to drill in just under the soffits and feed it into the loft that way or is there a better way of doing it?
3. If a drill the hole and prep the loft can i ask BT to change the drop cable and feed it into the loft and fit the new NDE5 master back on in the loft?
Any help would be really appreciated
